</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">You don't <i>have</i> to have a food processor, but they sure do make short work of all the prep that you have to do. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have only had this, mmm, not even 2 weeks yet, but, I am loving it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">(I have <a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.K28043.desc.KitchenAid-12Cup-Wide-Mouth-Food-Processor-w-4-10-Cup-Bowl">this one</a>, but not the Classic Red shown, I have the Gloss Cinnamon) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have shredded up block cheese, which is cheaper and does not have a wax coating like pre-shredded cheeses does, sliced mushrooms, processed onions and celery so fine that my husband doesn't notice them in his food, (he is fine with this by the way, as long as he can't "crunch" them), made bread crumbs, sliced tomatoes, and sliced apples for an apple crisp. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It makes everything uniform and is so fast. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Although I haven't done it yet, you can make pie crusts and dough in this too!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">This particular model came with, a 12 cup bowl, a 10 cup bowl, a 4 cup mini bowl with a mini blade, 2 slicing discs, one shredding disc, a dough blade, an egg whip, and a citrus press. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">As you know, I have just recently started cooking, but when my husband noticed that I was actually committed to doing this, he has bought me a few quality items to help me out. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">All I am really wanting now is a good dutch oven and a bigger mixer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have found a dutch oven at Sam's for $39.99, which is a fabulous deal for a cast iron one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">If any of you have the Classic Kitchenaid mixer,(the smallest one) and really cook a lot, you will know why I am needing the bigger one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I was so surprised at how inadequate it really is for quantity cooking. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I didn't use it a lot before, so I never noticed, but as I tried making breads and heavy doughs in it, I started to see a problem. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It won't even incorporate chocolate chips into a heavy dough well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Forget trying to mash more than 4 or 5 potatoes at a time, or make multiple loaves of bread. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am not downing it, because it is a perfect machine for the smaller jobs. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It has worked perfectly for me for making cake or pancake batter, things like that, but I found out real fast that if you want to really cook, you need the bigger one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Then I just the other day came across an article in Cooks Illustrated, my favorite cooking magazine, that said the the mixer I have rated poorly and is not recommended. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">The reasoning behind it was the same problems I had. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">So, if you are in the market for a mixer, I would highly suggest going ahead and getting the bigger one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It will save you from having to buy two mixers. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">(Unless you want to buy mine! HA)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have a lot to learn and don't like having to purchase tings twice, but to do what I am trying to do, I need the bigger one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am going to sell mine to help pay for the new one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It is a $240 mixer, but I probably won't be able to get more than $100 for it, I am guessing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I <i>think </i>my sister is going to buy it, as she wants a mixer but does not cook a lot and it would work perfectly for her as it did me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">So, that is my next purchase, and I am keeping my eye out, as I never pay retail! lol</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Right now QVC has the Profession 600 6 Qt. one for $387, which is the cheapest I have found. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am waiting for it to go on another sale, or at least free shipping. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am hoping closer to Christmas it will be an even better deal. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Let me know if you find this any cheaper!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I actually buy a lot from HSN or QVC, as they usually have the best prices around, unless Sam's has the same item. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Sam's carries a lot of Wolfgang Puck items, and they are usually cheaper there than on TV, but other than that, I have not really found any better deals. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">If you have any places that you buy cheaper from, please let me know. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Ok, anyhow, I am loving my food processor, and it really aids you in doing all those professional looking dishes, and really cuts down on the prep time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">If I sound like an advertisement for the any of these products or places, I am not, I just love them, and want to share. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I will let you know if I am reviewing something or getting anything from a company. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I just love these new "toys" that I have gotten!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">What is your favorite kitchen appliance?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="opE_img" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

I just found out about this free freezer cooking class and thought I would pass it along.<br />
<br />
her name is Shelly, and she has been teaching cooking online for 4 years, and was going to charge $42 for this class, but decided to give it away as a freebie!<br />
<br />
How nice!<br />
<br />
All you have to do is sign up <a href="http://www.freshfromthefreezer.com/">here.</a><br />
<br />
Now, I have never taken any of her classes, but I was sent this info from Malia Russel over at Homemaking 911, and I love her, so I am sure it will be good! lol<br />
<br />
I will definitely be taking this class.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you are too!<br />
<br />
Oh, and the first handful of lessons are already up, so you can get started right away!Rodna Allmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16278140381006283249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435616740803889669.post-70696785782251407882010-10-30T12:49:00.000-07:002010-10-30T12:49:27.463-07:00Pressure Cooking<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="block-inset-shop" src="http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/content/images/products/product_listing_79fa6575fee138adf181ab13e1d6e66c.jpg" /> </div><br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">My husband bought me this Wolfgang Puck pressure Cooker a few weeks ago, and I am loving it! </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">This is what I made my mashed potatoes in yesterday. You don't have to cut the potatoes up and them boil them in water. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> All you have to do is wash them, and plop them in the pressure cooker, add a couple cups of water, and push a button. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">When they are done, they can be mashed even with the tongs you use to take them out of the pressure cooker. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Yes, they are that tender. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Th pressure cooker really takes a lot of prep out of your cooking, and saves so much time. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It will even cook beans in 20 minutes, and you don't have to soak them overnight! Yeah!</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">It is also a steamer and a rice cooker too, so there is no need for more than one appliance to do the same job. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have cooked corn on the cob in it, potatoes, fish, and stock.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I will start a pressure cooking recipes section for anyone who is interested in pressure cooking. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am not familiar with any other brands of pressure cookers, so I do not know how they compare, but I love this one. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I got it from <a href="http://www.hsn.com/">HSN</a>.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> I believe it is sold out right now, but it will come back. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I highly recommend getting a pressure cooker. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I am not geting anything at all for talking about this, by the way, I just love my pressure cooker!</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">You can cook a whole chicken in 20 min.! It's crazy! I haven't done that yet, but that's what the book says. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I have cooked Tilapia, and it turns our perfect. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I will soon put all of these recipes up for you!</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

"I" did that! And it is all from scratch! Can you believe it?<br />
<br />
I made homemade mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing, homemade macaroni, and homemade gravy along with the chicken.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I have ever made stuffing or gravy!<br />
<br />
My husband only likes the Stove Top stuffing, but it has MSG in it and I can't eat it, so I tried to find a recipe that would taste like it and I did!<br />
<br />
He loved it! I loved it too! And I found a recipe that told me how to make the gravy from the chicken drippings too!<br />
<br />
This is the second time I made the macaroni. It is so good. it tastes like Furr's!<br />
<br />
And the chicken was actually moist this time. I found a recipe from Cooks magazine that told me how to keep it moist. <br />
<br />
I cooked the potatoes in my pressure cooker.<br />
<br />
My husband bought me a pressure cooker a few weeks ago and I have been loving it. It works so well, and really cuts down on the prep and cooking time. <br />
<br />
I am proud of myself. It was all actually really good.<br />
<br />
I'll keep you updated on all of the new things I learn to cook, and I'll get you some of these recipes soon!

<br />
Things like making what you can yourself, growing what you can yourself, being self reliant, buying in bulk or on sale, and preserving it by freezing or canning, saving money, reducing expenses, re-using what you can, and possibly even having your own chickens, goats, or cows.<br />
<br />
Each person will do this differently, and if you live in the city, it will be different for you than it would someone in the country.<br />
<br />
I am still in the country, but I am learning now as we are going to move soon.<br />
<br />
It's almost like I have been doing my own unit study!<br />
<br />
I have learned a lot so far, and have a lot more to learn, but I am loving it.<br />
<br />
How do you homestead where you live?Rodna Allmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16278140381006283249noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435616740803889669.post-73752178706620661782010-10-28T22:11:00.000-07:002010-10-30T12:54:31.147-07:00Welcome!Welcome to my new blog!<br />
I am really excited about this blog.<br />
I have never been one to make my own detergent, or my food from scratch, and never thought I would be, but weird things happen sometimes. lol<br />
I have just recently started learning how to cook.<br />
I was never taught how, and it has been hard for me.<br />
I have been married almost 14 years, and am just now starting to figure it out.<br />
I am on a mission to not only learn how to cook, but how to be organized, and how to save money, and all of that good stuff.<br />
I am sure that a lot of things I write here will be humorous, as I really don't know what I am doing in all of this yet, but I am learning, and I know I will get there.<br />
I hope you will join me in this process.<br />
So, sit back and have a few laughs with me as I venture to be a true homesteader.Rodna Allmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16278140381006283249noreply@blogger.com1
